Visit Notes

Sunday, 5th February 2006

This is not really a very impressive cashel, but as it's literally right next to Aghmakane (County Armagh) portal tomb it gets a mention. It is about 30m in diameter and the walls stand about 1m tall. As I was really here to see the remains of the protal tomb I didn't take much time to look around the site and so can't say where the entrance was or mention any other features.
